The portable vaporizing apparatus 100 may include an outer main shell which may include one or more controls (not shown in FIG. 1), such as a button, slider, or switch, that may be used to turn the portable vaporizing apparatus 100 on or off, or control other functions. One or more lights, FEDs, or other
indicators may be provided to indicate the status of the portable vaporizing apparatus 100, including, but not limited to, power status and operational status, and the like.
[0029] The therapeutic substance to be vaporized may be in the form of a liquid, gel, gas, solid, or the like. In several embodiments, the therapeutic substance includes, but are not limited to, one or more of a therapeutic substance, homeopathic or naturopathic formulations or remedies, serums, or the like. Particular substances may be chosen or selected for particular desired effects, therapies, or treatments, and substances have natural vaporization characteristics that are dependent on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, temperature, air flow, substance composition, and chemical state. Selection of one or more substances for vaporization may be made based upon information obtained from other devices or systems, such as a breath analysis device that can capture and analyze the content of exhaled air, a health band, other detection devices, or information stored in or entered into in a health or wellness computer application, program or database on a computer or mobile device (e.g., smartphone, tablet computer), which can coordinate diagnosing this information and developing recommendations for the substance or substances to be used.
[0030] In an embodiment, the liquid cartridge 102 may include an internal, refillable chamber for holding the therapeutic substance to be vaporized. The refillable chamber may be filled by insertion of the substance through the opening with a removable cover, or other filling port. Vaporization may be achieved by means of one or more piezoelectric transducers or atomizers, providing sonic or ultrasonic vibration. Vapor may be emitted through the mouthpiece 106. In an instance, calibration and control of the atomization process (e.g., temperature, size of inlet openings, rate of vaporization, timer) may be controlled by the user manually using a control (not shown in FIG. 1) on the portable vaporizing apparatus 100, automatically controlled based upon a code or symbol (e.g., bar code) on the liquid cartridge 102, or remotely (such as by wireless connection to a computer or mobile device) liquid cartridge 102itself may include the ultrasonic activating tip 104, and may be multiple use or single-use. The liquid cartridge 102 may be hermetically sealed, and made of any suitable material, including, but not limited to, glass, plastic, polymer, metal, or the like. The liquid cartridge 102 may be rigid, or flexible.
[0031] In an embodiment, the portable vaporizing apparatus 100 may receive ambient air via the mouthpiece 106 and power from the power source 108 to the liquid cartridge 102. The portable vaporizing apparatus 100 may agitate ultrasonic waves in the ultrasonic activating tip 104 using the received power. The ultrasonic waves may include a high-
frequency which produces ultra-small diameter aerosols which are breathed into the airway to arrive at the microscopic alveoli of the user, where the highest possibility of direct transfer to the blood occurs. The ultrasonic activating tip 104 includes one or more piezoelectric transducers or atomizers configured to vaporize or atomize a substance with sonic or ultrasonic energy. The ultrasonic activating tip 104 may be a Micro electro mechanical System (MEMS). The ultrasonic activating tip 104 may be a disposable consumable or as a rechargeable format replenished by the user with the therapeutic substance.
[0032] Further, the portable vaporizing apparatus 100 may vaporize the therapeutic substance in the liquid cartridge 102, based on the agitated ultrasonic waves and the ambient air. The therapeutic substance includes, but are not limited to, at least one of an agent, a medication, a liquid, and the like. Thereafter, the portable vaporizing apparatus 100 may create an aerosol from the vaporized therapeutic substance, to pass into the mouthpiece for breathing into an airway of a user. The aerosol may include at least one of, but are not limited to, nicotine, a nicotine salt, a nicotine analog, a nicotine derivative, a nicotine extract, and the like.
Exemplary Scenario
[0033] One example may bean administration of allergy calming agents as an antihistamine and related in an emergency. The portable vaporizing apparatus 100 may work in conjunction with epi-pen technology.
[0034] Another example includes tobacco and inhalant technology. The portable vaporizing apparatus 100 may be presented as a sonicated tobacco product (STP). The portable vaporizing apparatus 100 may use a processed form of tobacco leaf, a modem extraction, and condensation practice, and merges it with an advanced delivery process based upon ultrasonic aerosol formation. The portable vaporizing apparatus 100 operate at room temperature, without combustion or heating. The process is based upon forming microscopic aerosols of the ingredients from tobacco leaves which are inhaled into the airway and deposited within the alveoli of the user’s lungs. The tobacco leaf mixture maybe contained within a compact device that is referred to as the liquid cartridge 102. The portable vaporizing apparatus 100 with the ultrasonic activating tip 104 which in total, may exist as a disposable consumable or as a rechargeable format replenished by the user with the chosen tobacco juice. The ultrasonic activating tip 104 is an ultrasonic device that may include a piezoelectric crystal. These materials electronically vibrate at frequencies from the very low to kilo and
megahertz ranges. These vibrations interact with media in solids, liquids, and air/gases to create sound waves. The higher frequency vibration may produce aerosol droplets with measured diameters by micron scaling, usually, 50-100um in low kilohertz (20-50 kHz) to finer as the frequency approaches megahertz. High-frequency sonication may be virtually undetected in sound by the human ear. The high frequency may produce ultra-small diameter aerosols which are breathed into the airway and ultimately arrive at the microscopic alveoli of the user where the highest possibility of direct transfer to the blood may occur.
[0035] In an instance, liquid sonicated processing may have been applied to foods to produce elixirs (blends). Using the sonication effects of microscopic waves moving through media to act in such liquids significantly reduces the time of processing and allows the user to capture internal ingredients bound within the chemistry and mechanical hindrances of the product’s original form. In an example, consider plant cellulose, the cell wall may be one of the most robust representatives of difficult media to break down. Yet, plant cellulose breakdown may be critical to access the invaluable species within for energy and nutrients. While there may be more capacity to farm huge farms of fast-growing plants like bamboo, without the use of advanced technologies such as sonication, we are limited to effectively processing the large biomass that’s produced. The cell walls of this fast-growing plant species have been used to create walls, bridges, and spears to separate and dominate human beings. The same barrier strength may present on a macro level may be observed microscopically. The sonication technique may use microscopic means to break through microscopic barriers.
[0036] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary flow diagram of tobacco extraction, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The portable vaporizing apparatus 100 may include, for example, tobacco vapour delivery. The tobacco juice may be derived directly from the leaf. The process of extraction and condensing desirable products may be stepwise, one that does not include high temperature or combustion. Sorting may involve the mixing of cultivars or varieties of tobacco, including location/farm. Further, the extraction preparation may include a mechanical breakdown of the incoming product that eases theprocess of extraction. Extraction may include capturing the desired constituents of the tobacco. Further, the filtration may include removing species that may harm the sonication process. Quality Check (QC) and packaging may include as saying target species and confirming the lack thereof of harmful.
